Interviews don’t have to be after every single game, but if some members of the media have questions for the official to try and get a different perspective on a topic, I don’t see why not. As people begin to listen to what officials have to say, fans could develop respect for them and develop connections for more viewership down the road. Statements are made as a whole unit instead of individual officials. You never hear a public statement from the official because they don’t have the platform and haven’t been taught how to handle the media. Toronto Raptors vs Charlotte Hornets /g52nSbu2vi- Chaz NBA March 14, 2021įinally, after all this time… the official can speak out. Nick Nurse gets NBA's weirdest technical foul for talking to ref (Tony Brothers)! In my opinion he could be the first official to get his number 4 retired in the rafters across all NHL buildings. He could bring some funny clips to the social media era we live in during post game interviews. When McCauley is officiating the game, it makes you pay attention to the game a little more for the entertainment value he adds. He adds a little flair when making calls over the loudspeaker and has viral clips all over social media for his mic’d up moments. He has been the first official to truly try and make some enjoyment out of being the referee. This could help some people understand that ref’s are human too and that their logic and decision making can make sense sometimes.įirst, in thinking of officials doing post game interviews would be referee Wes McCauley. This would allow for the refs to have a voice to explain themselves and for the public to see things from the refs point of view. Now my idea which could have avoided the whole situation, would be to make refs do post game interviews. "It wasn't much but I wanted to get a fuckin' penalty against Nashville early in the…" #Preds #LGRW /6fZImkdqLr- Matt Best March 24, 2021 Maybe if you're a mic'd up ref, you shouldn't express how you wanted to call a penalty against a team earlier in the game, changing how you ref the rest of the game. Peel did say there was enough for a penalty in the quote it was just a matter of it already being on his mind. The “make-up” call is an inexcusable mistake but it’s something officials do more than you think. Peel says he “wanted to” give a penalty to the Preds because earlier on in the play there was a miscall in their favor. This quote by Peel was taken severely out of context: It’s the second period of a game between the Nashville Predators and Detroit Red Wings. They may deserve it some of the time, but someone should defend them as it is an incredibly difficult job under a giant microscope of constant criticism. For decades all the blame has been placed on officials because they are the easy target. Although, this could clearly be a cover up to make the commissioner Gary Bettman help himself sleep at night.īesides all that, I’m here to step up for the referees in this world. Along with it being rumored Peel was due to retire at the end of the season at age 54. įirst off, I understand the NHL had their backs up against the wall and wanted to demonstrate a zero tolerance policy for these types of issues. Peel is a respected NHL official with an established credibility which is why I was flat out shocked when I heard his punishment. This includes over 90 playoff games, the 2012 all-star game, two winter classics, and the 2014 sochi Olympics. Tim Peel officiated his first NHL game back in October of 1999, and has since refereed over 1,300 games. tKsg2SwGh8- NHL Public Relations March 24, 2021 Referee Tim Peel no longer will be working NHL games now or in the future.
